We thought it would be nice to explain why we are grateful to embark on this journey together. Even though it cost twice as much to go on this trip as a couple, we wouldn't want it any other way. The plan was to post this on Valentine's Day, but we did not… at least we were sort of close. And better late than never right?
Why I'm glad to be going on the world race with Michael:
1. I don't have to worry about leaving my best friend at home, I get to go with my favorite travel buddy
2. Michael doesn't get worked up over anything, so he helps to keep me calm
3. When I am not calm and freaking out about everything, he tolerates me well and helps encourage me.
4. I do the plotting/planning (which I like), he does the calling/arranging (which I don't like)
5. Not knowing the other people on this trip, even if everyone else hates me, at least one person will like me…at least most of the time.
6. When we come home I will have someone that will truly understand what happened and how our lives have changed.
7. When people think I am crazy for wanting to do this I get to say “he's crazy too!” and we get to be a little crazy together.
I am glad I am going with Rachel and these are the reasons why:
1. She likes to plan, this allows trips to go smoother.
2. We always seem to have fun interesting things happen to us when we are together.
3. I already know her so she is not a stranger.
4. She understands the words that come out of my mouth even if I don’t
5. Rachel and I always have fun.
6. When things start to go wrong Rachel stays calm and collected.
7. She is low maintenance.
8. She is my best friend
